Study Exposes Dangers of Snuff For Smokers to Quit
As tobacco companies promote smokeless tobacco as a safer alternative to cigarettes, many smokers
who take up snuff in an effort to quit instead end up using both products, warns a researcher.
Furthermore, nonsmokers who use snuff are more likely than those who don't to eventually begin
smoking.

'Man without a face' to talk on results of chewing tobacco
"As a 12-year-old Little Leaguer, Rick Bender tried his first plug of chewing tobacco,
emulating his major-league heroes. At age 26, he was diagnosed with oral cancer. He underwent four
surgeries over the next two years and lost one-third of his tongue, half of his jaw and partial use
of his right arm. Since then, Bender has dedicated his life to educating people about the dangers
of spit tobacco."
